Even if Oracle's reasons were monetary, I don't think they
dumped this direction because it was not profitable - it
might have been just not ridiculously lucrative, and the
big corporation does not meddle with small sales. After
all, some of this list's members, I understand, have thin
client businesses? Do they at least sustain themselves? ;)

Hi Jim et al.
The whole thing is mystifying to me. Why pay billions for Sun if you
aren't going to move forward with their tech? As far as I can see,
the only thing that survives is Java, Solaris and SPARC. But, Oracle
could have kept their foot in those for nothing without buying
Sun!?! Certainly, IBM, or whomever, would have kept those going. It
just doesn't make sense ;o(
